Overview of ITP and Its Impact

• ITP is an immune disorder causing low platelet counts, increasing bleeding risk.

First-Line Treatments

• Corticosteroids: Prednisone to suppress immune activity.
• IVIG: Used for rapid platelet count increase.

Second-Line and Maintenance Therapies

• Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists: Eltrombopag, romiplostim to boost platelet production.
• Immunosuppressive Drugs: Azathioprine, rituximab for persistent cases.

Surgical Option

• Splenectomy: Considered if medications fail.

Supportive Care and Monitoring

• Regular blood tests to monitor platelet levels.
• Avoid medications that increase bleeding risk.

Specialist Involvement

• A hematologist should manage chronic ITP.

Personalized Treatment Considerations

• Tailor treatment based on symptoms, bleeding risk, and patient preferences.
